The Pool at Boston Marriott Copley Place

"Besides booking hordes of vacationers, this Marriott and the Sheraton Boston are New England's biggest convention hotels; the Sheraton has a better pool, but both are reliable and comfortable enough that you can't go wrong by letting price and frequent-traveler points help you distinguish between them"

"It may be just another Marriott, but it's a nice one, thanks to a $22-million renovation that opened up the lobby, refreshed all guest rooms and suites, expanded the concierge lounge, updated the health club and pool, moved and expanded the on-site Starbucks and Champions restaurant and bar (with more than 40 flat-screen TVs), and debuted the tech-heavy Connexion Lounge"

"Between the health club, whirlpool, sauna, large indoor lap pool and on-site massage facilities, pampering yourself is easy"

"The atrium health club has a gym, lap pool, hydrotherapy plunge and massage room, and a large children's arcade awaits on the fifth floor"

"There's a sports bar and a lounge, both serving food and drinks, a wellness center with a gym, pool, and hot tub, and massive business and conference facilities"
